I splurge on fun fruits and cheeses when entertaining
I am all about Walmart. From serving pieces to party favors, food to decor, I can always find something fun and creative for any festivities.
Chwese platterd are great with or without party
I splurge on chips and paper products. I don't like cleaning u a big mess. I agree with the results. I like to buy everything and fix it myself than getting platters.
I agree. You can't go wrong with cheese, crackers and chips!
Yes this is totally my habits and it's cool to see what others buy too. Chips and Walmart are top choices and definitely anything considered a snacks! We love our food!
I was surprised that people spend on paper products. I am trying for reusable plates/cups. I splurge on fancy candy/chocolates. I make sure that everyone has enough interesting, nutritious drinks like lemonade and iced tea, which I make myself.
Results seem pretty spot on. I splurge on custom items for special guests coming, like their favorite pie or something to accommodate special allergy or need.
popsicles
My grandsons expect croissants from the bakery & sliced meats from the deli. Doesn't matter what else I'm serving, lol.
i totally splurge on nuts and i like to buy a lot of things on amazon so it ships to me
I agree with most of the results.
When entertaining, I splurge on high quality ingredients- produce, beverages, and condiments. I make mostly everything from scratch and offer options to make sure everyone enjoys!
I agree that snacks and beverages are on the top of my shopping list when I host a get-together.
I agree with most of the results except I do not shop at Walmart since there isn't one near my house. Chips is always on my list, also cut up fruit like watermelon, pineapples and strawberries, as well as various snacks from a polish store.
